Materials and Resources
  1. 5- 10 minutes
  2. 10 minutes
  3. 10 - 15 minutes
  4. 20 minutes - Homework
  1. Capture students' questions, concerns, assumptions, or stereotypes related why alcohol affects people differently using a KWHL chart or concept-mapping software. Collect and review the responses with students at the end of the allotted time.
  2. Define and discuss the terms associated associated with alcohol (e.g., Proof, Blood Alcohol Concentration, Toxin). Idenify factors that affect BAC (e.g., body weight, percentage of body fat, gender, feelings, presence of other drugs, age, drinking of carbonated beverages) Discuss what happens when B.A.C increases in a person who drinks alcohol. Discuss the percentage of fatally injured drivers with a B.A.C >.08
  3. Studens will utilize the information they have been provided along with information they will provide in order to accurately identify how alcohol will effect them if they were to consume alchohol.
  4. Students will compose a short essay (2-3 paragraphs) explaining the way alchohol affects an individuals. Students will also identify their finding as they relate to their use of the B.A.C calculator they used on the internet
  1. Word- Processing or concept-mapping software
  2. Powerpoint Presention software will support lecture/discussion and provide images/graphs
  3. Internet access, use of B.A.C calculator
  4. Paper and Pencil or use of word processor
Notes:
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC): the amount of blood in a persons body
Toxin: a substance that is poisonous
Proof: a measure of the amount of alcohol in a beverage
Note student groupings, environmental modifications needed, etc: Students will be conduct a breif class discussion at the beginning of the lesson. Emphasis will be placed on students actively participating in the discussion. The remainder of the lesson students will complete work independently.

MONITOR

Ongoing Assessment(s): Check for student understanding about the factors that affect BAC and the dangers associated with having a high BAC level.
At the completion fo the lesson, students should be able to determine how B.A.C can be influenced what indicators will determine how it will affect each individual.
Accommodations and Extensions: Students may require additional instruction on the Affects of BAC. Some students may require information to be provided in written form as well as it being read to them in order to obtain comprehension.
Back-Up Plan: Students can conduct this activity with paper, pencil, and use of BAC chart. Although the chart is not as accurate as the calculator provided on the internet it is still a viable learning tool. It should be noted that more time would be alloted if internet and other resources are not available

EVALUATE AND EXTEND

LESSON REFLECTIONS AND NOTES:
The ability to have students use a BAC calculator to demonstrate how alcohol will affect them is very interesting and students are very interested in the results. It is also been my experience that students at this age are very close to gettting their drivers licence and are in need of this information as it pertains to drinking while driving consequences.

ACTION

Before-Class Preparation: In preparation for this lesson I will need access to our school computer lab that has video editing software. The lesson will also require the signing out of camcorders, tripods and microphones. All of these are accessible in our school television studio. The use of a large T.V or projector with sound is needed to view the end products at the conclusion of this lesson. Copies of Digital Storyboarding Worksheet.

Students will view a sample Public Service Announcement created by a professional Television Production. The class will have a brief discussion about the PSA and what aspects were present that they should include in their own PSA.
Students will be groupings of five students each. Each group will begin reviewing and researching information about alcohol that should be presented in their P.S.A. Students will begin story boarding/scripting their PSA.
Students will complete their story board and submit it for teacher review.
Students will begin production of their P.S.A video.
Students will review and edit their P.S.A video. This class will allow students to add and text or audio to their video.
Students will present their P.S.A video to fellow classmates. Students will briefly discuss each video after each presentation.

T.V or Projector w/ sound
Note student groupings, environmental modifications needed, etc: The students will be homogeneously grouped. This will allow for me to give those groups’ lower level students more attention when they are in need of assistance. The groupings also prevent lower level students from relying so heavily on their more skilled counterparts.

MONITOR

Ongoing Assessment(s): Check for understanding about the requirements of the project. Oversee each group members input into the production of their P.S.A. Monitor student collaboration by use of general observation and provide prompts for groups that need assistance.
Accommodations and Extensions: Students may need additional instruction on how to utilize the video editing software. Students may also need additional instruction on how to construct their storyboards. Examples of a completed storyboard will be supplied to each group.
Back-Up Plan: This lesson is contingent on the availability of our T.V television studio and it’s video editing software computer lab. If these are not available the assignment will ask students to develop a skit for the class incorporating many of the aspect that they would have presented in their video.

EVALUATE AND EXTEND

A couple of team meetings are held. Most students contribute to the discussion and are listened to respectfully. All team members contribute a fair share of the work.
Meetings are not held AND/OR some team members do not contribute a fair share of the work.

LESSON REFLECTIONS AND NOTES:
This lessons duration is dependent upon having students work cooperatively and efficiently. The ability to instruct students how to complete the task must be clear and to the point. Our time within the T.V studio lab will need to be used properly and students must work with a sense of urgency in order to accomplish lesson objectives within the four day time period. The fact that our school has such technology is very critical to the implementation of such a lesson and would be more difficult to accomplish if we did not have these resources.
